"Someone hit you, what happened to you …? Oh my god, who would have the guts to hit you? " Zhu Lingling put down her handbag, walked over, and touched Huo Mien's face, making a big fuss out of nothing.
"Come here." Qin Chu waved his hand at Huo Mien.
Huo Mien slowly walked over...
Qin Chu took her hand and sat on the edge of the bed. Then, he reached out his warm hand and gently touched the bruise on her cheek.
He knew that her mother must have hit her. There was no need to ask, it was definitely because of him.
Qin Chu's heart ached. It was better for him to get hurt than for Huo Mien to get hurt.
Otherwise, the pain in his heart would be even more devastating...
"Hey, okay, okay, stop it if you're sick. Don't torture us single people. We're here to visit you, not to see you guys being lovey-dovey," Gao Ran joked.
When he saw Qin Chu in the morning, he knew that Huo Mien had made a choice when he saw how much better Qin Chu looked.
Luckily, this woman wasn't completely heartless and didn't completely ignore how well Qin Chu treated her.
Zhu Lingling and Gao Ran chatted for a long time before they put down the flowers and fruits...
The two of them were about to leave...
"Aren't you guys going to stay for dinner?" Huo Mien asked with a smile.
"No, the food in the hospital cafeteria is horrible."
"We can order takeout."
"No, the room smells like formalin, I'm not in the mood. Forget it, I'll go find some street food and eat some hot and sour noodles."
As she spoke, Zhu Lingling walked out...
Gao Ran quietly followed behind. "I haven't had hot and sour noodles in a while, I'll grab a bowl on the way."
"You don't want hot and sour noodles, you want to eat Zhu Lingling, right?" Huo Mien asked half-jokingly.
Gao Ran suddenly felt a little embarrassed …
Zhu Lingling was so angry that she secretly pinched Huo Mien's shoulder. "What nonsense are you talking about? I realized that you're almost as good as the paparazzi. You're really good at spreading rumors."
"I'm joking. Why are you so nervous? Could it be that you two …?"
"There's nothing between the two of us. We're pure and innocent … whiter than tofu," Zhu Lingling immediately explained.
Gao Ran didn't say anything. In the end, he followed Zhu Lingling silently …
"You know how awkward they are, yet you still tease them … Aren't you afraid that they will explode?" Qin Chu smiled.
"Don't worry. Gao Ran is a little shy, so he won't explode. As for Lingling, I've known her since she was a child, and she's never exploded at me. It's possible that she'll explode at someone else." Huo Mien closed the door, walked in, and poured a cup of warm water for Qin Chu.
"Drink some water, the house is a bit dry."
"Mian … your face …?"
Qin Chu didn't ask directly because there were other people in the house.
Now that Gao Ran and the others were gone, he looked at Huo Mien's slightly swollen cheek with heartache. He felt terrible.
"Oh … it's nothing. My mom slapped me." Huo Mien smiled.
She didn't even dare to tell Qin Chu that her eardrum was injured. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to eat or sleep well. How could he be thinking about this?
"Next time, tell your mom to hit me. Don't touch my wife."
"It's fine. It doesn't hurt. I'm not that unreasonable."
Compared to Qin Chu's seven-year promise, Huo Mien felt that his mother's slap was nothing. It was just a flesh wound.
Fortunately, Zhixin stepped up and helped her out in time. Although she wasn't sure if his words were effective on his mother, Huo Mian still cared about Zhixin.
She could tell that Zhixin was trying his best to protect his sister, even at the expense of falling out with his mother.
It seemed like she didn't dote on her brother for nothing after all these years. However … Junior Sister Huang Yue seemed to like Zhixin …
Huo Mien wasn't sure, but she didn't dare to say. She felt like he was being too nice to her. Maybe she was just overthinking things.
"Honey …"
"Yeah?" Qin Chu slowly drank his water and listened to Huo Mien talk to him.
"I feel like my background is a bit strange. I don't think I'm Huo Zhenghai's daughter, nor am I my mom's daughter."
"Yeah?" Qin Chu put down his cup and was slightly surprised.
